My invention has tory its object to provide an exceedingly convenient domestic utensil or instrument that may be used in a kitchen for `,containing garbage or refuse, kprevious to final disposal'. .The invention particularly provides a readily removablereceptacle ttor receiving garbage or refuse and for draining ed any Water that maybe-disposed in the receptacle with lthe arbage into a drain pipe, 1G such as the drain pipe of the si'nl; in connection with which the instrument is Yused. n pipe connection may afford means also for supporting they receptacle and, if desired, for Y conveniently permitting the removal of the receptacle to one side, such as to a point under the sinkr The invention may be contained in utensils of different Jforms and used for different purposes. vTo illustrate a practical application of the invention, I have selected a garbage receiving utensil asan example of constructions embodying my invention and shall de-y scribe it hereinafter. The utensil selected for purposes ofillustration is shown in the accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 illustratesa side View of the utensil 'and'shows its position -With reference to a sink. Fig. 2 is 1an enlarged side view .of a part of the utensil shown in Fig. 1j Fig. 3 3C is a view of a section. ot the drain pipe and a sleeve for connection to the vreceptacle shown in Fig. 2. ,y Y

In the form ofutensil shown in Figs. 1 to 3, a removable retic'ulated receptacle is supported in a container which is in turn supported on a swivelledrpipe that communi; cates `withv the'drain pipe of an ordinary kitchen sink. Thus'the receptacle 1 has a Ved inf the container?, for-enclosing the receptacle 1 to prevent the escape of offensive garbage odors'` and to colleot'any liquids that may be disposed in the receptacle with the garbage or refuse. vided with an inverted bead 4 and therecontainer 3 is located Within the receptaclel. A handle 6 may be connectedto the flange 5 The y and a trap, a container, a pipe connected to reticulated bottom portion 2 and is support-v y `draln pipe having a plurality of openings The container 3 isfpro-kr so as tol extend throughan opening'? formed in the upper edge of the container 3. A cover 8 maybe placed on` thetlange 5 and Within the upper edge 9 of the container 1 and so as to close both the receptacle 1 and the container 3. 55 The bottom ot the container 3 is connected tovr a pipe 15 to carry otf'any of the liquids that may drain from the receptacle 1, to the drain pipe 16 of the sink 17. The pipe15 vis connected to a sleeve 18. The sleeve 18 C is mounted on the pipe 16 which is provided with one or more openings 19 to permit the passage of liquids into the drain pipe 16. Preferably, the sleeve 18 is located abovethe trap 20 and,in order to seal the sleeve 18 as 6 against the escape of the' liquids that may pass to it from the pipe 15, the drain pipe 16 has a short length pipe 23 Which is connected in the drain pipe16 by the pipe connectors2t. A pair of packing rings 25 are 70 threaded on opposite ends of the sleeve `18.k I lhe rings 25 are, provided With fibrous packmg material 26 for sealingthe ends ofthev sleeve 18. A pair of nuts 27 are threaded on the ends of the pipe 23 to secure-the sleeve 18 1n a position to be rotated about the pipe 23. Thus, the receptacle 1 and its container 4 3 ma)7 be swung to points beneath thesink 17`or in front of the sink 17, so that it willk I be out of the Way and. yet may be positioned S0 so that garbage or refuse may be readily dis-` posed into thereceptacle.

I claim: l

In combinationwvith a sink, a drain pipe the lower part yof the container, a sleeve communicating with the pipe and supported on the drain pipe for swivelled movements at a point between the sink and the trap,.tlie B0 located in a portion ot the drain pipe thatV is positionedin proximity to the end of the y first `named pipe for conveying the liquids from the iirst named pipe-into the interior of the drain pipe at a pointabove the trap.
